GenesisCare marks five years of integrated cancer care in the Nepean-Blue Mountains community
Kingswood, Sydney - Tuesday 13 May 2025 - GenesisCare is marking five years of service at its Kingswood centre, which brings more healthcare options and integrated cancer care closer to home for patients living across the Nepean and the Blue Mountains. Patients can access radiation oncology, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, haematology, Nepean Pets as Therapy and on-site McGrath nurses for breast cancer support at the GenesisCare Kingswood centre. Located within the Nepean Health Precinct, the centre is within walking distance of pathology and imaging services and other allied health professionals often required during cancer treatment schedules.
Linda Byrnes, Centre Leader at GenesisCare’s Kingswood facility said: “We are proud to mark five years of offering patient-centred, evidence-based cancer care in Kingswood. Our energetic team goes above and beyond to offer compassion alongside clinical excellence”.
“It’s the little extras and the deep local knowledge of our long-term team members that makes our approach to care so personalised. A patient may need an extra warm blanket during treatment, help finding an allied health professional nearby or knowledge of local transport and accommodation. Our team aims to make treatment easier in small ways, as much as they can.”
The doctors at GenesisCare Kingswood are also well established in the local healthcare network and know the neighbourhood well. Three new doctors have recently joined the Kingswood team including Dr Andrew Parsonson, a medical oncologist with a clinical interest in breast and gastrointestinal cancer, Dr Roland Yeghiaian-Alvandi, a radiation oncologist covering lung cancer and palliative radiation therapy and Dr Lakmalie Perera, a radiation oncologist covering skin cancer treatment and a new head and neck cancer service at the centre.
The team at GenesisCare’s Kingswood centre maintains a close working relationship with the Nepean Public Hospital across the road and the centre plays an important role in the local healthcare system by providing more options for cancer care.
